Djenné is a city in Mali, famous for its mosque, which is the biggest mudbrick building in the world. As of 1987, the city had a population of 12,000. Djenné has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. UNESCO says on its website that "Djenné became a market centre and an important link in the trans-Saharan gold trade."

The best day to find transport to Djenné is Monday - market day - when many minibuses and bush taxis make their way to the town. Otherwise you may need to take transport to the Djenné junction on the main Bamako-Mopti road, and wait for further transport to Djenné.
